How to Apply Primer for Acrylic Nails

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Prepare the work space and the supplies. Work in a well-ventilated area. Gather enough acrylic nail primer to cover ten fingernails. Remove excess primer from the brush by touching the brush to a lint free nail wipe.
2

Apply the primer. Dab with the brush just enough primer in the center of the nail to cover only the exposed natural nail. Spread the dab of primer out into a thin layer towards the edge of the cuticles.
3

Swab any skin exposed to the primer using a cotton ball and either rubbing alcohol or water. The chemical reaction can burn the skin.
4

Allow the primer to dry to a chalky white before painting with the acrylic polish.
